View Full Version : IE hijacked proxy
I am using Windows 7 and IE. I believe my browser network connection has been hijacked.
When I look at my network connection settings it is set on use proxy and the porxy
is set to 127.0.0.1:8800. I have tried to reset it to automatically detect the network settings
but it always resets to use proxy at the above address. As such IE can never connect to
the internet. Any suggestions on how to fix this.
Thank you

Do you have any other browsers installed that will let you access the internet ?

Press Scan button.
It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
Please copy and paste log back here.
The first time the tool is run it generates another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe). Please also paste that along with the FRST.txt into your reply.

At that point, if you still require help, please start a new topic and include a new FRST log with a link to your previous thread. Please do not add any logs that might have been requested in the closed topic, you would be starting fresh.
